Yes! For me, all our values stem from the idea of immanence. It is also noticeable that other traditions with the idea of immanence (Liberal Quakers, Unitarians & UUs, and liberal & earth-based Jews) also share the idea that because the Divine is within, we can trust ourselves and honour the Earth and being alive.

Clarification

By my definitions, immanence and transcendence are deity-dependent because I am Goddess and because deities exist (even if they’re not always anthropomorphized, traditional, or ancient). By my definition even archetypes are deities.

But not everyone shares my definitions of deity, divine or worship. So non-theistic religions, atheism and agnosticism may connect with and experience what I’d call deity and divine…but I don’t want to get into making it appear that I think immanence and transcendence are deity-dependent — doing so doesn’t always translate well across reality tunnels with their different definitions and models of reality.
